Well, you’ve done the soldier-athlete comparison, so I’ll help you with the next one (especially timely with the recent holiday.)

But there are plenty of guys who come from worse situations who are successful in the NFL, or at least don’t murder people. Society gave him a golden ticket and he chose to use it for drive-by’s and murder over some bull shit code. Society didn’t fail Aaron Hernandez, Aaron Hernandez failed society.

You’re the type of person who’d be all, “Listen, we can engage fascist and racists and show them the error of their ways.”

If society wouldn’t be such fucking prudes about “murdering people in cold blood” then he wouldn’t have been in this predicament in the first place! Check mate.
